The Governors Guards.

The Governors Guards, at Charleston,
are progressing finely. At the meeting
Thursday night eight new members, good
and true men, were elected. The compa-
nv has begun the exercises and from the
interest evinced it is safe to say that the
Guards will be equal to the acknowledged
excellence of the Capital city's former
companies 1t is likely that but few more
names will be accepted, as it is the inten-
ton to make the company one of prof.
cheney, rather than one of numbers.

Nothing in the sale of the French crown
jewels is more remarkable than the absence
OF sentlmentality which marked this auc-
ton. All glamor of association was absent
The paltry sum which these historic precious
stones brought was barely their commercial
value, and, thou"h this may possibly be ex-
planned by the that there was some sus
plclon that the jewels had been tempered
with, still it might have been expected that
there would be more competition 1t may be
that the republic hoped with the disappear
ance rom the public treasury of the crown

the people to dissipate the last lingering love

The Orchid Mania Dying Out and the
Tulip Coming in.
1t is predicted that rage for tulips will
follow the present frenzy for orchids. Oddly
enough, the red and yellow variety known
as the parrot tulip is the only one with
which we are very familiar. Within few
days, however, | have seen in florists shop
a great jar of the real tulip, the pure cub
shape, exquisitely striped in colors that
must entrance tulip connoisseurs. After ex-
amlning these beautiful evidences of mans
,untlrlng patience. you understand to what
lengths this passion for tulips carried the
citizens of Holland years and years ago In
these days, when flowers play SO large nart
IN the scheme of decoration, the royal tulip.
with its endless variety of combination Of
hues, cannot be neglected. The faunt;ng
parrot seems ineffably vulgar beside the
delicately painted chalice of that ideal thin
which ruined both prince and merchant and
then fell, like floral Lucifer, from pride in
its own beauty. III

Successful Cooperation.

Industrial co. operation has been success
fully tested in the old.time whaling ships.
Every man on one of these vessels, from the
captain to the cook and cabin boy, had a
GtiLtd and settled interest In "the catch"
aid each worked with will TO make that
"cstcbn Gs large as possible. The capital
represented in the ship and its outfit had
its share as well as the men, and the dlvi-
sion was equitaUly made.
England, the United States, and most
other maritime nations have recognized
tie principle OF CO. operation as great In
Csntive not only to labor and watohfulness,
Tut to courage in battle by the systems Of
prize money given for captures made at
sea. Under this system every man and
hoy on the war vessel which captures or
destroys an enemy's ship is entitled to a
Ehare Of the value Of the prize
Thus II is seen that both the government
ard the merchant have recognized the
value Of cooperation upon the sea, where
extreme watchfulness, excessively hard
labor, great exposure, and unusual danger
are TO be met. Under these circumstances
every man Is stimulated to put forth his
greatest exertions by the knowledge that
he is to share in all the profit that may ac-
CIue.
Without any danger Of drifting into the
untepable theories OF Fourier, Owen, or
other doctrlnaires, this principle can be sue
Cessfully and pr9fitably applied to every
business now carried on by individuals.
Each person employed can be made to have
a direct interest in the success Of the busl-
ness, and this having been done, II Is Ger

please note the National Drill report in the

Other states have been facile promoters Of
Washington's national enterprise, centering
about the monument tardily finished to the
"Father OF bis Country" and in the camp
named early in his honor, Scamp George
Washington" the flower Of the National
Guards of the re. United States.
From time to time records have been pub
lished Of famous companies, battalions,
and even regiments coming. And only
yesterday the Blue Grass state outdid that
record by practical entry of legion. But
IL was reserved for the "Old Dominion" to
outdo even the "dark and bloody ground"
Of colonial history.
On the evening of Washington's birth
day, apropos to the time and to the spirit OF
the time, came official query from the APP

rapgement for quartering at Scamp George

generalship Of Brigadier Charles j. Ander.

youth from which she drew her fame In The

the value Of this drill in the balance OF coo

no uncertain tones. The letter Of Maj
Evans, of the 1st Virginia brigade, mean
two things-absolute confidence in tn
value OF the drill and business.like intent t

neighbors though they be, the Virginlan
would not wish to come, nor would tina
veteran soldier and true citizen, FitZhug
Lee, permit them to come even did the
wish.
The old state has waited before she spoke
She has done this before, and the yer
promptitude OF her tardiness, In speakin
thus, recalls the words Of the poet VIII
sung "Virginians Of the Valley"
We thought they slept! those sons who kept
The names Of noble sires;
And slumbered, while the darkness crept
Around their vigil fires!
But still the Golden Horseshoe Knights

blessing which would have resulted from the

the comrade. Jacob lands served faithfully
from the time he enlisted in the United States
volunteer service until the end OF the war of
the rebellion about two years.. lie Is unable
TO furnish proof of disability contracted In the

failed, and having spent some of his best years
in the army the consequence Is that he re-
mained n poor man, aud now with the addi

the time the bill was before Congress fre-
quenlly encouraged him by telling hun Of its
progress. And after its passage told him that
l had good news for him, that the bill was
passed and only awaited the Presidents sgua.
lure, then, he would get his pension: After the
President, considering himself more wise than
any and all Of our senators aud representatives
who had voted for the BILL refused to sign the
same, and therefore there was no pension for
him. Day before yesterday Comrade Lands
came to me asking for an order of relief by the
township IL such relief could be given without
his children being taken from him. told him
that If an order was given that the overseers of
the poor would have 1t in their power to put
his children out. Then, with tears streaming
down his cheeks, he said, 81 would rather die
than be separated from my children" and he
would not take an order. Yesterday one of the
oyerseers was 10 see me, and said that he aud
the other overseer would Immediately investl-
gate the matter, and IL they find that It Is al.
solutely necessary to proceed they will inform
me- Then, as justice of the peace, of course

comrade and his children to be separated

hundred this proprietary interest will result
in the greater efficiency Of the labor en-
ployed.
lndustrial operation is neither CON-
mulism nor socialism, and so far from
tending toward their dangerous fallacies
leads directly away from them. Commun-
ism and socialism extingulsh the motive Of
individual gain and possession, and propose
to remodel society upon that basis, but
cooperation recognizes the fundamental
principles and institutions OF society as
now constituted, the family, state, church,
and individual ownership of property, and
strengthens them by securing to each
producer the complete results Of his or her
labor.
The encouragement Of cooperation by
the government will be the most direct as
well as the easiest way to settle all labor
troubles. We do not mean money encour-
Ogement, such as is proposed by the meas
